My brother and sister just called me and said they are on their way to the hospital. Apparently my dad called my nephew a while ago and asked him to take him there. At this moment, all my siblings know is that my nephew said that Dad was extremely shaken up and breathing heavily. My siblings will call me when they find out what might be wrong with Dad. It is very scary! I can only speculate at this time. It could be something very bad/dangerous or even just a severe panic attack. I'm very nervous right now. Luckily I see my psychiatrist in a couple hours. No matter what it is, I certainly hope that my siblings also super emphasize some of our major concerns about Dad's drinking and mental health. They'll call me when they know more. There is no sense in me going there at this time. I live a good hour away and would need my husband to take me.

I just took a prn Ativan. I've got to stay calm. Hubby wonders if Dad was trying to cut down on the drinking. I don't know, but people must realize that that can be dangerous in cases of abuse/addiction. I know.
